Sabado added most of the customers look for quality products especially that they are looking for furniture that would last for decades.

“Ang gusto man gud sa among mga customers kay kanang dili anayon. Lig-on man ang ubang klase sa kahoy apan pagkadugayan anayun ra gihapon, (What the customers want are those which do not get pestered by termites. Other woods are durable but still get to be pestered by termites in the long run,)” Sabado said.

Sabado added they sell Magkono or the Iron Tree from Surigao. She said their table sets range from P30,000 to P100,000.

Sabado said though the supply remains stable; the demand for the Magkono-made furniture is still high.
